Our two MINIs sleep together. Sometimes we peek out into the garage and, at times, it seems they are inching closer together.

We're keeping our fingers crossed that someday we'll be blessed with a healthy litter of baby MINIs.

Hmmmmmmm... CR and PW... hope we can sell some of the little pink MINIs.

If you wait until they dry it is easier.

Our two MINIs live in the garage and the poor stepchild (Subaru Forester) has been banished to the great outdoors behind my son's Neon.

Let's see, there is a Plymouth Superbird, a 70 GTO Judge, A Shelby Mustang, an MG TC, an Edsel, The Torino from Starsky and Hutch, and bikini models to wash and wax them all!

Who am I kidding? I'm just jealous of the Aerial Atom and the Home Theatre

Buick GS is one of the most overlooked muscle cars...my brother had a 1972 Convertable until about 6 years ago...my cousin (much older) was the original owner, having to get rid of that was one of the toughest choices he had to make....I wish I had the money to buy it off him at the time...but I was just out of school and owed Ms. Sally Mae way too much money.

I think if my family and friends hear me say "Good for you, Jack!" (Lovitz on Seinfeld) they'll run me over with the Countach I also have in the garage

Simon's stablemate is a 2006 Lotus Elise, but in the interests of honesty I have to point out that it's my neighbour's car. I'm in an underground parking lot and I can't tell you how happy I was when the new neighbour moved in and he had an Elise. No worries about door dings there.
Simon also sleeps in his stall with all the OEM crap that's been shed for mods. Getting a little crowded in there, maybe I'll have a sale.
